𝐅𝐑𝐄𝐄𝐃𝐎𝐌 𝐓𝐎 𝐅𝐀𝐈𝐋 In today's competitive world, we sometimes forget the core principle: it's alright to fail, start fresh, and even stumble again. Ever wondered what fuels the world's largest economy, the United States of America? Freedom to Fail. In an interview with the Press Trust of India (PTI), Louis Hernandez Jr. talked about the importance of embracing failures to spur innovation. Read excerpts from this wide-ranging interview with Hernandez, where he talks about the Indian Tech sector, AI, and work-life balance.

Breaking news!!! US Universities are now offering honorary degrees in “becoming Indian” and degrees in being an “honorary Indian”:) All kidding aside, the trend of F500 CEOs being of Indian descent is definitely worth noticing. I would argue that tech-centric roles such as CTOs and CIOs at those same companies are occupied mostly by men and women of indian origin. While India is a beacon of economic hope in an otherwise tumultuous and uncertain world, Indians globally are a force to be reckoned with, and reaching new heights in the US and across the globe. As Eric Garcetti so aptly put it - America has transitioned from “you could not be CEO if you were Indian” to “you can’t be CEO unless you are Indian”. A bit tongue in cheek, but the trend is clear! cc: Iron Pillar Anand Prasanna Ashok Ananthakrishnan Ashish Shah Raj Chinai Sajid Fazalbhoy Shanthi Pavan Sanjna Tulsiani, CFA Samay Kala Akshaya Damle #indiarising #aspiration

At 15, I walked away from the rat race of conventional schooling, believing I was breaking free. But nine years later, I realized I was still caught in the same cycle—chasing numbers, running after targets, and fitting into molds I didn’t create. That’s when the question hit me: Why am I running behind numbers like a fool? Where’s the game-changer, the one of kind mindset? Yes, corporate exposure taught me a lot, and starting my business was meant to break the cycle. But instead, I found myself trapped in the same patterns—just under a different name. Following the herd of small businesses, playing it safe, and shying away from bold ideas just because they involved financial risk. I stopped and asked myself: Where’s the joy in all this? That moment changed everything. I began stripping away the noise of numbers, trends, and societal expectations. My thought process shifted to focus on clarity, creativity, and courage. Why should business follow a set pattern? Why should success be defined by someone else’s rules? At SeekThrill India, this realization is our turning point. We’re stepping away from being just another sales-driven company. Instead, we’re prioritizing innovation, creativity, and impact. No more following trends—it’s time to create them. 2025 will be the year of fearless experimentation. The year we embrace the bold ideas I once feared would fail. Because real success lies in daring to be different. Travel isn’t just about 3-day itineraries or seasonal packages. It’s about something bigger: transforming lives, building connections, and fostering a conscious way of living. But here’s the big question: What can truly disrupt an overcrowded, competitive travel industry where seasonal trends dominate? #business #mindset #innovation #ideas
